== Producer variants

A producer may want to generate different artifacts for different kinds of consumers: for the same source code, different _binaries_ are produced.

When no problems are found after a short time (usually a week), the release candidate is promoted to a general availability (GA) release.
If a regression is found in the release candidate, a new RC distribution is created, and the process repeats.
Release candidates are supported for as long as the release window is open, but they are not intended to be used for production.
Bug reports are greatly appreciated during the RC phase.

    /**
     * Classes to process are already compiled classes that are passed to Java compiler.
     * They are passed to Java compiler since they are required by some annotation processor to revisit.
     */
    Set<String> getClassesToProcess();

    void setClassesToCompile(Set<String> classes);

    /**
     * Classes to compile are all classes that we know from Java sources that will be compiled.

    /**
     * Configures caching for wrapper distributions that are released Gradle versions.  By default, released
     * distributions are removed after 30 days of not being used.

NOTE: Dependency constraints are only published when using <<publishing_gradle_module_metadata.adoc#sec:understanding-gradle-module-md,Gradle Module Metadata>>.
This means that currently they are only fully supported if Gradle is used for publishing and consuming (i.e. they are 'lost' when consuming modules with Maven or Ivy).
